TOP SECRET DIRECTOR'S LOG TE OF DE ROM8:30 AM, 13 Sept, 8:30 AM,1A Sept* CUET RECEIVED FROM TO SUBJECT ACTION OSO (Cont) Testimony in the current Bucharest espionage trials has accused two members of the U.S. Legation of complicity. The fact that the former OSO Chief, of Station in Bucharest has not been mentioned seems to indicate his success in operating securely under very difficult conditions. The European Director of Information for Radio Free Europe has agreed to remove the RFE representative in Trieste within six weeks. The latter has engaged in unauthorized intelligence activities to the prejudice of OSO operations in that area. Roger Wybot, Chief of French internal security (ST), has complained to CIA representatives of alleged U.S. interference in North African affairs, saying that - the U.S. Ambassador to Egypt, Jefferson Caffery, is "openly encouraging North African nationalists and personally dealing with nationalist agents." This criticism of U.S. policy in North Africa follows other similar indications received recently through French intelligence channels and has been associated with OIA requests for bases in that area. Wybot has also advised that he has been assigned to prepare the French reply to a SHAPE request for French suggestions on NATO peacetime counter-espionage organization. He will propose an organization similar . to the International Criminal Police Commission. Colonel Betts reports that Major .General Charles Haydon would welcome a CIA invitation to visit Washington in October. Colonel Betts suggests the invitation await the outcome of war planning discussions in London. TOP SECRET (CONTINUED) COPY# L OF 5. SEP 13 1951
